Quoting: Doctor Congo People in the US have had Dengue before but they always caught it while traveling to 3rd world countries. This is the very first time someone in the US caught the virus from local mosquitos, and health officials are very afraid it is spreading. Most people recover after a week but this disease can be extremely painful, which is why it is called "break bone fever", your muscles, bones and joints can be horribly painful. In some cases it becomes dengue hemorrhagic fever. [link to www.cbsnews.com (secure)] A dangerous viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes has seemingly landed in Arizona. Earlier this week, health officials reported that a Maricopa County resident recently contracted dengue, while routine surveillance has found traces of the dengue virus in at least one nearby mosquito population. These discoveries suggest that the infection could be spreading locally in the state for the first time, though the investigation is still ongoing. Maricopa County field teams made up of staff and volunteers are now offering dengue testing to residents ages 5 and older in the neighborhood where the latest case was discovered. The testing can identify an infection which might have occurred in the "last several months," the county said. They are also providing residents with mosquito prevention kits. I have lived in Arizona for 33 years and never even seen a mosquito. And I know full well what a mosquito is, I grew up in Rhode Island. If there's mosquitos in AZ, it's because they are shipping them in and letting them loose. And even then, the bat population would eat them up. Whatever this is, it's something else.

Who were the the ones releasing genetically modified mosquitoes again? WE DO IT IN . "Don't do anything that affects anything.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77906560 United States 11/19/2022 03:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The University of Arizona has been warning about the mosquitos spreading Dengue, Yellow Fever and Chikungunya since 2011. But they had to blame it on 'climate change' instead of the invasion of infected people. These infected people get bit and then the mosquito spreads it to other humans. This thread is about the first infection in the US by a mosquito. Quoting: Doctor Congo [link to www.publichealth.arizona.edu (secure)] It will not be long before the neglected tropical diseases become common in the US because of the open border. But that is probably one of the reasons 'they' want the open border. Yep. Odo ab chao shit ... different day ... Let the (needed) infected peoples in ... let the tropical diseases run rampant ... offer-up the mandatory vaxxine or some newly-created $hot-$olution... Works every time on the dumbed-down masses.. |

Quoting: Doctor Congo https://twitter.com/_/status/1592281595343273985 [link to twitter.com (secure)] Cover story, most likely. Arizona isn't exactly a haven for mosquitoes. Sadly it is. There are many pools here, many swampy unmaintained pools too. They attract mosquitos. You can actually report someone for a swampy pool. |
